The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) case is a nice compromise between the flexibility of the soft silicone skin, and the stronger form factor of the harder crystal and rubber cases. The TPU material is highly resistant to scratches and fingermarks. It is pliable, yet resistant to tearing, making it good-looking and long-lasting alternative to other materials.

While the case has cutouts for the connectors and camera lens/flash, the controls are covered, preventing dust and other material from entering the phone, yet still allowing the controls to be easily manipulated through special button molds in the case. A small lip over the front edge of the phone prevents the screen from coming into contact with flat surfaces. The case has a black finish with a subdued argyle pattern.

Pros: Great fitCareful design considerationQuality materialDoes a great job at protecting the phone

Cons: Volume covering now require significant pressing down on buttons

For such a cheap price, you absolutely can't complain. Not to mention there aren't many cases still out there for the Droid X and this one is solid quality and looks great, too! Anyone curious should note that this will fit the Droid X2 as well, but the case has designated notch (not a cutout, just a raise in the material) in the side for the camera button on the Droid X.

Economical, good quality case

Pros: Good fit, nice feel, cheap

Cons: Volume buttons a bit firm

This is a great case. It fits well, looks good, and doesn't get hung up in my pocket like a silicone case. The only problem is the volume buttons are a bit hard to press, but that is just a "getting used to it" thing. Overall, a great bargain. I don't even mind the monoprice logo.

Can't beat it

Pros: everything you would expect out of a $10-$20 case, but for a fraction of the price.

Cons: none

Would recommend to anyone, this is just as good as any other TPU case out there.
